Our user asked: "Can I use TENS on an O2 dependent patient?"

Ask a PT Response: "Contraindications for TENS include pacemaker, over carotid sinus, thrombophlebitis, indwelling stimulator or near diathermy. An O2 dependent individual itself, would not warrant against the utilization of TENS unless they had another medical condition (ie, lesions, pregnancy, impaired sensation, etc....) If you are not sure check with your patient's physician."
